Very interesting write-up, but I'm still not convinced I'll ever replace the gen 1; especially now it's been freshly serviced and is tip-top again.
I think part of the good pricing on these new MT-based bikes is due to them putting on budget suspension. I don't really think that is a huge problem; after all, I've spent a fair few bucks to upgrade mine on the Fazer, but would be nice if maybe on future models they could offer something a bit better, give people the choice. After all, it must be nice if you can afford to buy something where that doesn't need to be touched.
Still not wowed by the look of them myself either, but that's a subjective thing.
